If I was in a situation where hormones may need to be reduced/removed temporarily until a problem is resolved, my main priority would be resolving that problem so that I can get back to my life's goals. Easier said than done, but with enough determination you will get there! Eat a healthy diet, exercise, get plenty of sleep every night, drink plenty of water, spend time with people that make you happy. Stress plays a huge factor. When you take care of yourself, you'll be surprised how much faster you'll reacquire homeostasis. Speak your concerns with your doctor as well. There may be some options that are completely better than no option at all. There are many different types of AAs, and different types, and routes of hormones as well. Some may be bad in your particular circumstance, but others may be fine. If you are still against all magnitudes of information declined, see another doctor and get a 2nd opinion. Do what you gotta do.
